I haven't read through all of the pages, but my guess is that the letter that Ciara intercepted and hid from Hope about a prisoner release is the same person behind Rafe's beating. I think he has ties to Nick and Vargas in prison, and may have even been someone who hurt Nick in prison. But I think Rafe put this guy behind bars and that's why he beats him up and has nothing to do with Nick or Vargas. I wonder how long it will take until the letter resurfaces. I'm sure we will see screen shots of it everytime Hope is in her office over the next few weeks/months.

I am just thankful that Rafe has a story away from Sami. I can't wait to see Kate by his bedside while Sami has to watch from afar! That will be good. Even better is that Rafe loses his memory for awhile and doesn't remember Sami at all!!
